Performance is coming up in
3 days!
Lao Shi said he is looking at this performance as a challenge and not pressure. I guess somewhat, it is a challenge to everyone but I can't help feeling a little stressed out. Well, this is really worrying. Yiying is down with fever again. I really hope she will get well today and come for all the rehearsals. I don't know what will happen if she's really sick. Rest well!
Besides performance, I still have a pile of homework, waiting for me to get my hands on them. Holidays are coming to and end. I still have a week plus left. Goodness!
My wonderful homework listEL>> Journal Writing, Thematic Vocab &
The Great Fire of LondonMT>>Write summary/reflection for 3 of the stories in <<7-eleven>> & choose 10 good sentences (still in the midst of reading)
MA>>Algebraic Fractions and Equations (halfway through)
DNT>>Evaluation on Letter Opener and Lamp
LIT>>Poem &

I hope I can really complete most of them by the end of this week. Yes, I can do it. I must believe in myself :D
I will update soon.
My second post for today. Haha :D
Practice had been quite fine. Mr Yeo came over today. We went through some of the more important songs. Then, Lao Shi went off an hour early cos' he said he had arranged to meet some contractor at the Botanic Garden. It's for our performance. For the next whole hour, Ailing took over Lao Shi's position. It was fun. Haha :D
Oh yes, my blister burst today. While watching " Lu Kuang Sen Ling" I pulled the skin from different directions at one time. Suddenly, I felt some water. And I looked down, the blister had burst! It wasn't painful at first, but when I went to have my bath, OUCH. It isn't that painful now. I guess it will be better tomorrow :D
Practice tomorrow from 830am to 6pm. How cool is that? Haha :D But I enjoy every practice :D
Cheers! 10 more days to major performance! 17 more days for school to re-open!!My goodness. Time flies so fast! And I have yet to start my holiday assignments? No, I did one already. But it doesn't really count as an assignment because I doubt Ms Loh will collect it when Term 3 starts. I think she'll just forget about it. Oh no. I feel so guilty now. I've been watching the tele quite a lot lately, been online (as usual), been reading my new storybook BUT I have yet to start any homework. My schedule is just so pack man. Practice and practice, tuition. It seems like I have to slog my guts out to complete all my homework. There's such a huge pile of homework waiting for me to start la. I hope I can finish at least 5 by this week.
Singapore Idol yesterday was quite alright. Geraldine lacked the power like what Dick Lee said. I mean when I heard her singing, I couldn't feel enough power. Yep. Milly sang out of tune a few times. I totally agree with Ken. Agonizing the audience. No offence. Rahima was good. I didn't manage to catch the last 2 contestants. Hope they did well.
Let's sidetrack a little. Forget about holiday assignments for awhile. Haha :D
Monday was the extra practice for daji. But we didn't really practice a lot. In the end, I helped Ailing with the labelling of guzheng and they went to the canteen for break. Actually I wasn't suppose to help them. But I reached there early and they were busy cutting slips of bright yellow paper. When I asked Joy, she told me it was for the labelling of guzheng for our major performance coming up on the 18th of June. Oh wells, then Ailing asked me to write her name. (for fun la). She also asked other people to write. In the end, I became the one to write the names on the yellow paper. I had quite a good time, writing the chinese names. My goodness, some names are so difficult to write. So many strokes :D
Then when we were practicing, Charmaine and Vanessa was having their extra. Ok, and I guess we were making quite a lot of noise and Charmaine was irritated with us. She shouted at us. I mean, I understand. So I told them to lower their volume. We also need to practice and how much softer can you expect from us, percussion. I could see that she was quite pissed off with us. We just continued with our practice. If I were her, I will just bring my guzheng outside and practice. I mean, wouldn't that lower the noise level? Never mind, it's over. Forget about it, Anna. Haha :D Oh yes, Zenia, Grace and I managed to learn the beginning part of
"Han Jiang Yun". Haha :D So fun!
Tuesday, we had combine practice. It went quite well. I need to work on my rolling la. I mean, compare to Zenia, mine is not as good. Haha :D Oh yes, there is this song, Borobudur, there will be some clappings. It will be so fun to see all of them clapping. Haha :D
Training Intensity Project 2006." I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenwards in Christ Jesus." Phillippians 3:14Today has been a tough, hot, thirsty, physical training and fun day. Haha :D I was station i/c for training part 1 and 2. I'm proud to present to you my partner, Xioa Hui. She's just so insane and over-enthusiastic. However, there is also a serious side of her. She kept talking about yesterday's Channel U show, some lu kuang show. " I don't like William." Haha :D That was one of her favourite lines in the beginning. During the games, it was totally serious and I was certainly impressed by some groups. Good job, prefects!
For lunch, we had biscuits. During our briefing, Tan Chun, Zong Xia and Jasmine said that we could order whatever food that we wanted and I guess nobody filled up the piece of paper. I didn't place any order. So, it didn't really matter to me. Biscuits for lunch was nice. It was filling. I had 3 packets with 3 cups of Milo. Haha :D (Gosh, I ate so much for lunch!)
After lunch was training Part 2 and my partner was Renee. I had a great time working with her, playing Bingo and chatting. My station was called, drawing of the Sun. It isn't that simple. Tough and the game needs a lot of co-operation and good communication skills. Nevertheless, there are always some groups who never fails to impress us, they were really good. Excellent :DD
During tea time, all the groups had to collect their food according to the number of food tickets they have collated from both trainings. This food ticket system is unique. It's my first time coming across this system in a camp. Cool :D
Anyway, after this whole event, I pondered over our debrief questions by Mrs Tng and Ms Gan. I don't know if it was just tiredness, but I feel that I myself, can improve on lending others a helping hand even when I'm worn out. Being station i/c, I feel that I've not done a very good job. I didn't really stress on the objective of this whole training camp and that is to go beyond our limits. I'll take note of that and improve on my debrief for my next opportunity.
After TIP ended, my whole family went for dinner. Then, we went shopping. Haha :D I bought a pair of puma track shoes. It's beautiful :D At first, I wanted the Nike one, I liked the different shades of green but don't have my size. So, the sales lady introduce the puma track shoes (running shoe) and the walking shoe. Both are nice. But, I chose the one that was more comfortable la. The running shoe. Btw, the pair of shoe that I bought is also green in colour and there is a shade of
lime green. I love it!!
Tomorrow is another busy day :-)
